THE HIGHWAY COW.
Tho hue ot her hlo was n dusky brown.
Her body was lean nnd her neck was slim,
Ono horn turned up nnd tho other down,
flho was keen of vision and long of limb i
Willi a lloman noso nnd a short stump tall.
And ribs llko tho hoops on n home-made rail.
Many a tnnrk did her old body Lear
She had been a target foi all things known I
On many n scar the dusky hair
Would grow no inoro where once It had grown!
Many a passionate, parting bhot
Had left upon her n lasting tpot.
Jinny and many a well-aimed stone,
Many a brickbat of goodly size,
And many n cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought tho tears to her bovine eyes ,
Or had bounded off from her bony back,
Vt llh a noise llko tho sound of n rlilo crack.
Many a day bad she pnssed In tho pound,
For helping herself to her neighbor's corn J
Many a cowardly cur and bound
Und been transfixed on her crumpled horn i
Many a teapot and old Uu pall
Had tho farmer boys tied to her time-worn tall.
Old Deacon Gray was a rlous man,
Though sometimes tempted to bo profane,
When many a w enry mllo ho ran
To drlvo her out of his growing grain,
Sharp were tho pranks sho used tp piny
To get her fill nnd to get aw ay
She knew when the deacon went to town i
Sho wisely watched him when ho went by ;
He never pasf ed her without a frown
And an evil gleam In each nngry ej o j
Ho w ould crack Ids w hip In a surly way,
And drive along In his "one boss shay,"
Then nt his homestead sho loved to call,
Lifting his bars wllh her crumpled horn j
Nimbly sealing his garden wall,
Helping herself to hl3.6tandlngcorn ;
Eating his cabbages ono by one,
IIurr)lng homo when her work was done.
Often tho Deacon homeward came,
Bumming a hymn from tho houso of prayer,
Uls hopeless heart tn a tranquil frame,
Ills boul as calm ns the evening air ;
Ills forehead as smooth ns a well-worn plow,
To find In his garden that highway cow.
Ills human passions wcio quick to rise,
And striding forth with a savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
Asllghtnltigs hash In a summer sky;
Kedder and redder his faco would grow,
And after the creature ho would go.
Over tho garden round andjround,
Breaking his pear and apple trees ;
Tramping his melons Into tho ground,
Overturning tils hives of bees ;
Lea; Ing nun augry nnd badly slung,
Wishing the old cow's neck was wrung.
The mosses grew on tho garden wall ;
'1 ho j ears w ent by w 1th their work and play ;
Tho boys of the village grow strong nnd tall.
And the gray.halred farmers passed away,
ono by ono as the red leaves fall,
But tho highway cow outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must havo their day,
And some must havo their months and years ;
Some In dying wll long delay ;
There Is a climax to all careers ;
And the highway cow at last was slain
In running a race with a railroad train.
All Into pieces at onco sho went,
fust llko tho savings banks when they fall ;
Out of this world sho was swiftly sent ;
Little was kit but her old stump tall.
The farmers' cornfields and gardens now
Are haunted no nioro by tho highway cow.
THE TWO HY8TEIUES.
In the middle of the room In Its white coffin, lay
the dead child, a nephew ot the poet Near It, In it
great chair, sat Walt Whitman, surrounded by little
ones, nnd holding a beautiful little girl on bis lap.
The child looked curiously at the spectacle of death
and then Inquiringly Into tho old man's face. "You
don't know- what It Is, do you, my dear?" said he,
adding, "We don't know either."
We know not what It la dear, this sleep so.decp and
Mill;
The folded hands, tho awful calm, Uio check so palo
and chill ;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may call
and call ;
The strange white solitude of peac: that settles over
all.
Wo know not what It means, dear, this desolate
heart pain ;
This dread to tako our dally way, and walk In It
again ;
We know not to what other sphere tho loved who
leaves us go,
Nor why we'ro left to wonder still; nor why we do
n ,t know.
But this we know : Our loved and dead, It they
should come this day
Should como and ask us, "What Is llfo 7" not ono of
us could say,
Llfo Is a m stery as deep as ever death can bo ;
Yet oh, how sweet ltlsto us, this llfo we llvoand
see I
Then might they say these vanished ones nnd
blessed Is tho thought 1
' So death Is sweet to us beloved 1 though wo may
telljou naught ;
We may not tell It to the quick this mystery of
death,
Y'o may not tell us, If j o would, tho mystery of
breath."
Tlio child w ho enters life comes not with knowledge
or Intent.
so those who cuter death must go as little children
sent.
Nothln? Is known. But I believe that Ood Is over
head ;
And a life Is to the living, so Is death to the dead.

upon tho shore; to rat, drink, sleep, and
smoko mndo up tlio sum total of my dver
sinus. Hut that I was uifted with powers of
progressUm, I might have been an oyster.
One day as usual I strolled upon the beach.
Tlio season was springtime, tho sky bright,
tho se i llko n mirror. Nothing ever broke
tho stillness that reigned around Fort Need.
1 1 n n ; It lay nfftlio high-road so no ono came
to it; even tho fishiiiR-boats avoided the bay,
beenmo of tho shoal water. With my glass
I swept tho horizon, now nnd again exam
ining tho sen-gulls or a far-oil sail.
What is that black thing bobbing up and
down in tho water? A hen-coop orn whale?
or n new rock shot up suddenly from- bo
iienth tho waves?
No, it is a boat of some sort j very low In
tho water, not unlikoa raft, and there is a
figure on it, a man paddling. He is making
for tho shoro j slowly and surely ho ap
proaches. Closer and closer, His face Is
plainly visible now, and his breast through
his open shirt. Ho handles his little oar
with skill and vigor nearer and nearer bo
conies. At length grate, 6queeie, thud, bis
raft bus run aground, and he jumps on tho
shlnglo.
The stranger's first act was to throw him.
self upon his knees and exclaim fervently
in French, "Thank God I Safo at lastt"
Then ho roso nnd came to erect mo with
the bow of n finished courtier. Ho was In
rags, ho wore only a dilapidated shirt of
conrso calico, nnd a pair of tattered trousers
rcachlngjint beyond his knees, mndo appar
ently from nn old gray blanket; yet, Insplto
of all, ho seemed a gentleman. Ills manner
was peifcct, the Kngllsh in which ho nd
dressed me, though tinged with a foreign ac
cent, pure, and in intonations decidedly well
bred.
"This is a sorry plight in which I find
myself, Monsieur. I tun n waif cast up by
the sen. I lmvo been Bhlp-wrcekcd, I novcr
dreamt I should reach the land alive I"
"Shipwrecked V I asked. "Whcro?
When ? How ?"
"Yesterday I was on board my own yacht,
tho I'eodorowna I am Princo UoltikolT
you know my name, perhaps 1" ho Bald, see
ing that I bowed nt tills introduction of him
self. "No ? I am a Ilussian. I was cn
routo for Cowcs. Ijst night tho yacht lay
becalmed nil the Needles, I was in my berth
half reudlng, half dozing.when crack I"
something crashed into the side of the yacht.
I jumped from bed nnd rushed, as I was, on
deck. It was a collision. Death stared us
ono and all in the face. 1 snatched up the
first garments I could find, you seo them,"
bo pointed, smiling, to his rags "and
jumped overboard. I am a good swimmer.
At dawn I was still afloat. Then I got to
gether a few floating spars from tho wreck,
mado that littlo raft good friend, it has
donn duty," and ns ho spoke ho pushed it'
back into the tide "Adieu ; go, mou ami,
go."
"May I ask," continued the stranger as
soon as tho raft had drifted nway, "may I
ask whcro 1 am ? Would you have the cx
trcmo complaisance todi'rectme to tho near
est town?"
"This is Fort Necdham," said I. "Yar
chester is tho nearest place some dozen
miles distant."
"So far I I am hardly in walking trim,
I fear, but I must mako shift to push on."
"Impossible. I cannot permit it. You
need rest, food. My quarters nro close at
hand. I am the Commandant of tho fort
i ,
"You are then an English officer! I might
havo guessed it I You aro all generous ns
you aro brave. I was with MeuschikofTin
Scbastopol, and I learnt to respect you
then."
"If you aro yourself a soldier, Prince, it is
the more incumbent upon me to bo your
host."
With this I led the way into tho fort. The
admission of such a tatterdemalion rather
surprised tho decorous sentry, but my ser
vant, who was called in to assist at the
Princo's toilet, soon spread the real story
throughout the barracks.
A bath, my razors, and a complete rig-out
of my ciothes, made a wonderful change in
the Princo's appearance. Ho was evidently
a person of tho highest distinction, not ex
actly handsome, liis smoothly-shaven faco
was too Rallow.and his cheek-bones too high
but ho had good features and dark penetrat
ing eyes. Ho made the mistake of also
wearing his hair too short ; it was clipped so
close that his head looked liko a round
shot.
"Your clothes fit mo to the marvel, mnn
cher M. Cnrrutliers. It would not be indis
creet to a?k your tailor's name ? Ho is an
nrtiit."
I was flattered and replied readily :
"Mr. Schneider will bo glad to get an or
der from you, Prince."
''He shall havo it. Ills cut is superb."
Then we sat down to lunch. Tho Prince,
although aristocratic to tho finger-tips, had
tho most plehian appetite; within a few
minutes he had cleared the table.
"I have not tasted food for twenty-four
hours," he said apologetically.
After lunch I produced cigars. Ho looked
at tho tobacco ravenously.
"It is my passion. I did not think I could
have existed so Ions without it."
Ho lay back in nn arm-chair and smoked
half-a-dozen cigars ono after the other, ap
parently with tho most intense gratification.
Meanwhile wo talked. Tho Prince was a
most ngreeahle companion ; his experiences
were viiried ; bo had traveled far and wide,
ha 1 seen many cities, and knew men and
manners. It was delightful to listen to him.
Hut be was far too well hr.d to monopolize
the ennrprsstinn. He also could lUten, and
did i-o with courteous, null urging interest as
I enlarged upon the subjects I had most at
lieart ; he even led me nn to talk quite
finiiMarly and freely of my reirlmpnt ; my
t'oniradcs; mv life and prospects everything
in short which interested me.
In this way the hours passed, till suddenly
the Prince jumped up.
"You have been most cood, M. Cnrrutliers.
1 can never rep'iv your kindness. IJut now,
the dav is advancing, I must be moving
on "
"Prnv do not think of it. You will sure
ly Slav and dint-v" To-morrow or next day
will bo time enough to travel ; by then you
will be rufrpulied and recruited in s'rength.''
"I hardly dare tako advantage nf your
pood nature. I knov not what to say. Hut
your pleasant society draws tn towards you;
I will stav. Sufler mo only to write a few
letters. I must cominunieato with tho Um
slan Kmbassy ; I should send to my bankers
a'ld to mv Loudon hotel for clothes nnd
ncce.-earies.''
I sat lit m down at onco to my writing desk
a piece of portable barrack furniture limited
In dimensions, very much littered with old
letters, thiol's, and stray pipers; tradesmen's
bills, an army Hit, Ilradsliaw, officials' re
ports and returns, some in my own hand
writing "nd bearing my signature. Hut from
among these I cleared sufficient space, and
left tho Prince to write his letters alone,
It was quite an hour beforo I returned.
Ho started rather as I re-entered tho room,
but explained that his recent narrow escape
had shaken his nerves. Ho had been busy;
snvcral letters wero lying on the table, their
addreses uppermost, and for tho life of nie,
I could not help seeing that one was to a
Secretary of the llusiian Kmbassy, another
to some one at Claridgo's Hotel, a third to
Messrs. Coutts ; of a fourth I read only a
part. It looked llko "Jemmy Haw
Seycn 1)1 " Hut the moniont my somo-
what surprised and curious eyes had read
thus far, tho Princo took up all his corres
pondence, and rose to greet mo with a pleas
ant smile.
"There I So much for business. This con
tretemps will alter alt my plans.
Hut what matter ? I am still alive. Shall
we tako a breath ot air?"
OuUlde, after a few turn upon tho shote,
he said :
"Is your post-oflico far. Wo might drop
theso in as wo passed,"
I said I sent an orderly with tho letter-bar;
as far as Sllvcrburn, tho nearest vlllago and
rail-station, three miles or so. Ho would
start in an hour.
"Now confess you nro sending on pur
pose ? I shall bo truly grioved to derange
you. Your Boldlcr would halo me. What
say you, shall wo walk to tho post-office our
selves ? 1 should liko it, and it would do
you good.too; you aro lazy, mon Lieutenant,
you will grow tat. Say then, shall wo walk
to Silvcrhurn ?
I excused myself. Tho fact was I wished
to stay at the fort to attend to household
aflalrs. I did not often entertain a Princo,
and I was somewhat anxious nbout tho din
ner which was being prepared by my inex
perienced soldier cook.
"You will not? You nro wrong, You
should walk more. It is excellent exercise.
I find tho benefit, and need it much always,
as now. Hut I seo you will notbo persuaded.
An revoir then till 1"
"Dinner at half-past 5. That will givo us
a nice long' evening."
"Yes ; a nice long evening," lio repeated
after mo in a strange, mocking tone. If ho
had not been a Princo I might have consid
ered his conduct rude.
Wo parted. He walked on at a very brisk
pace ; I returned slowly to the fort.
For tho next few hours I was busy super
intending tho operations in tho kitchen, as
sisting to lay tho table, 'drawing wine, and
making ready for tho feast. About 0. p. m.
I dresscdjin mess uniform to do honor to
my foreign guest, and walked down tho road
to meet him on his return.
Ho had had three hours to do tho journey
there and back, but half-past 0 came, and
with it no Prince. Seven still he did not
appear.
What had happened ? He must have Io3t
his way. It was quite dark, and rather cold.
At half past 7 Isentofl two non-commissioned
officers in search of him; nt8 I went my
self, and growing more and more concerned,
walked on to Silverbum.
Yes; a person answering to the description
of tlio Prince had been been there. He had
taken the train to Yarchester. An extraor
dinary proceeding, still jt accounted for his
absence ; so somewhat relieved I went home,
dined by myself, and went to bed.
I slept late next morning. It was close on
10 when I was roused by a familiar voice in
tho outer room.
"What, Randal I Still in bed I"
It was Hob Finch, a brother Lieutenant
from headquarters.
"You are t return at onco to the regi
ment," ho said. "I have come to relieve
you."
"Hurrah 1"
"Steady, boy, steady. Read this. Don't
sing out too soon."
It was an official letter from the Adjutant,
desiring mo to hand over my detachment, and
report myself forthwith at headquarters
under arrest.
"Bless me. What's up?"
"The Colonel's furious. He declares he'll
prefer charges, and have you tried by court
martial." "Hut why, man? why?"
"What on earth induced you to givo that
sharper letters of introduction to the regi
ment ? Where, in heaven's name, did you
pick liim up?"
"Tho Prince ?'
"Of Darkness. Ho made nice fools of us
all."
I told Hob Finch tho story of tho raft at
.which bo laughed a little, adding soon :
"Hut it's no joko, Randal. lie was asked
to mess on tho strength of your letter to
GreycliflV'
"I gave him none."
"Ho produced one on paper with your
monogram, and in your writing."
"A forgery."
"Hut how could he have clone it V"
"I left, him alone hero for an hour or
more to writo letters. There was one for
Messrs, Coutts, and another for somebody
'offski,' and one" for Seven Dials, of
course, but I would not confess to this.
"Well, be dined nt mess, en bourgeois.
He was traveling, nnd had left his mails at
another stage. ; after dinner lie got us up to
baccarat, which ho played to a nicety. Wo
were cleaned out eveiy one of us. Tho
Prince, however promNed us our revenge.
Only the same night it could have been no
one else he broke into the mess-house, stole
threo dozn silver forks, a heap of teaspoons
several smilf-boxes, one ortwo vacing cups
In fact, all the liplit portable articles on
which lie could lay his hands."
I wns utterly ashamed of myself fur being
so easily impo-ed upon, and was preparing,
In pall and hutnillaton, to proofed to head
quarters, when my Sergeant came in and
said twoWarderv had arrived from Talkham
Convict Prison ; would I s;c them?
Ono csmo in.
"Might I make so bold as to claim your
.wistnuco ? We havo been in pursuit of a
convict who escaped from our establishment
llie day before yesterday."
He produced a lare placard headed wllh
the Royal arms. Under llieni, in flaming
capitals, were the words :
"Convict jut Fcaped I Five Pounds Re
ward I"
Then followed the description :
"Thomas Twoshoes. alias Polish Ned alias
tho Swaggering Sutnph, alias Harry High
flyer ; complexion callow, dark-eyes, high
cheek-bone, black hair. Speaks with a
foreign accent. Was dressed in trousers of
I niched blanketing and an old check shirt."
"Well, what can I do?" 1 asked a littlo
nervously. Was I suspected of complicity ?
Doubtless I had lain myself open to the
charge of aiding and abetting in the con
vict's escape. "If I can assist you in your
search "
"That isn't necessary sir, for wo'vo caught
him."
"Caught him I" cried both Finch and my
self in a breath,
"Ho is outside in the custody of Assistant
Warder Tightlock. We captured him seven
miles this side of Ynrchcster. A boy saw
him about daylight hiding behlud a .hedge
changing his shirt that ho had on was
marked with tho Hroad Arrow. Wo wero
iiiformed.tgavo chase, and, after n sharp tus
sle, took him. Will you allow me to lodge
him in your guard-houso till tho prisou-van
arrives?"
I consented, and went out with Finch to
see tho culprit, who was handcuflcd and
still in my clothes,
"Well, Prince," I began.
"Pardon me," he said gravely, "I am In
cog.; traveling under therumo of Twoshoes,
My equerry here, Mr. Tightlock will ex-plain."
"Always was a rum'un to patter. Flash n
you like, nnd artful," said Mr. Tightlock.
"How ho got nwny wns marvelous ; like
magic," said the senior Warder. "Ho was
hero to-day "
"And will bo gone ngain to-morrow, re
plied tho incorrigible rogue. "But, whilo I
have tho opportunity, allow mo thank Mr.
Carruthers for his generous hospitality ; and
perhaps you, sir," he went on to Bob Finch,
"will convey to your brother officers an invi
tation to visit mo at Talkham ? Tho place is
rough, hut I am compelled to mako it my
residence for tho preseut.and If any one cares
to como oyor I shall bo happy to givo them
their rovengc."
"And the mess plate, Twoshoca V
"Mado into white soup hours ago."
"Meltcddown.that is,"remarkedTightlock,
by way of explanation.
And that was all wo over heard of it All

The First Christian Church in the United
Slates.
Captain John Smith gives the following
interesting sketch of tho earliest state of the
infant church iu tho original settlement of
Virginia :
"When I firsi went to Virgiuia I well re
member woo did hang an awning, (which is
an old saile,) to threo or fouro trees to shad
owe us from tho sunno ; our walls were rails
of wood, our seats unhewed trees, till we
cut planks, our pulpit a bar of wood nailed
to two neighboring trees; in foule weather
we shifted into an old rotten tent, for we
had but few better, and this camo by way of
adventuro for new.
This was our Church till wo built a homo
ly thing like a barno set upon cratchcts, cov
ered with rafts, sedgo and earth, so was also
the walls, that could neither well defend
wind nor raine. Yet wo had daily Common
Prayer morning and evening, every Sunday
two sermons, and every three months the
Holy Communion, till our minister died."
This extract was published over twenty
years ago in the Delaware State Journal, and
was taken from a very rare old tract, (so
scarce that they thought there was no other
copy iu this country,) entitled Advertise
ments for Unexperienced Planters of New
England, printed in 1031. Tho minister re
ferred to was the Rev. Robert Hunt, the
first English clergyman who accompanied
the colonists to Virginia.
Jeflerson and "Schneider."
The story goes, that Jeflerson went to a
bank to have a check cashed during the
long run of Rip Van Winkle and the bank
official demanded that he should bo identi
fied. "Why," said Joe, "I'm Jeflerson, now
playing at Booth's.
"That may be," returned the cautious
clerk ; "but I've seen Rip many a time, and
it seems hardly possible you are the man ;
anyway you must get somo one nho knows
you."
Jefferson sank ngainBtapost in the pe
culiar, forsaken air of the returned sleepor,
and said in the words of Rip: "If my dog
Schneider vas here he vould know me."
"Pay that check." t ried the cashier." No
one but Joseph Jeflerson has that heart
breaking voice, or could utter those words
in that way."
And thus an allusion to tho dear old un
seen dog that never existed, except in Jef
ferson's imagination, saved him a. deal of
trouble.
A Model Letter.
This is what my bo called a sample of
practical affection. True love is not con
tent to bask in tho sunshine with an timbrel
la handy iu case of rain. The following let
ter is a sample in question:

I want you to be so happy whilo I am here.
Don't keep the meat up stairs. It will sure

you were only here, if but for an hour. Has
Mrs. O'R brought back your shirts?
I hope the bosoms will suit you. You will

What did you do lu-t evening? Were you

Between 17,000 and 20,000 alligator skins

six to eight months, when they are ready to

John Dowd is a very Indiscreet youth of
40 or CO years. Last night John pranced
into Nolan's saloon, on the corner of Six
teenth and O'Fallou streets, sanguine and
frisky, with a knife something less than a
yard long in his hand, and related that ha
was willing to eat his grandmother if he
couldn't whip thunder out of any of thorn
in the house, and that's tho kind of a hair
pin be was. It is hard to believe that ho re
alizr 1 that ho was m tho heart of Kerry
Pate t when ho advanced this proposition
for such a degree of recklessness is past cred

of Kerry never let a man languish for want
of a fight, and John was accommodated.
They wiped the floor with him and used him
for a billiard cuo, and wore him out. AVhea
they ot through with him they rolled him
out loors, and two police officers collared
him ind his scimctar and locked them up.

lican. An important discovery hitherto not men
tioneJ in public, ofnumerous well preserved
boned of diluvian animals, is reported from
Steefm, on tho Lahn, in Germany. Tho
cav in which they wero found was acciden
tally laid open by tho fall of a colossal
block of dolomito which had closed it water
tight. A dry, soft, dolomito sand which
had filled tho cave,, had preserved tho
organic remnants most beautifully, without
any incrustation. Tho bones wero those of
tho civc lioiijlarger than the present African
lion, of the cave bear and of tho cave hyena
the latter of much more powerful build than
the living species. There were also rem
nants of the horse, the ox, tho stag, the rhi
noceros and the elephant, as well as of sev
eral smaller animals, which had been the
prey ofthe lion.and the hyena. It seems that
the elephant calves had by preference been
attacked and devoured by those diluvian
cariA'ora. So-called koproliths, or petrified
excr'tneuts, were numerously mixed with
the medley of boues. It need scarcely be
said that the several beasts of prey did not
inhabit tho cave together, but that similar
species of them used it during successive pe
riods. A good selection of the remnants
found is contained in tho Museum at Weuv

regions of the earth is along the Persian,
Gulf where little or no rain falls. At Bar
hlu the arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population con
trives to exist there, thanks the copious
springs which burst forth from the bottom
of tho sea. The diver, sitting in hia boat
winds a goat skin bag around his arm, tho
hand grasping its mouth ; then he takes in
his right hand a heavy stone, to which he
attached a strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bottom.
Instantly opening tho bag over the strong
jet of fresh water, ho springs up in the as
cending current, nt the samo time closing
the bax and is helped aboard. The stone is
then hauled up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges ngain. The sources of theso
copious submarine, springs is thought to b
in the green hills of Oman, some 500 or COO
